Write a summary power paragraph about the film.
Monday November 30, 2015
Daily Objective:
Today we will do some background research about Earthquakes & apply the engineering process to design and build an earthquake proof building model
Daily Question:
What is an Earthquake?

2. Earthquake LG & Scale Engineering LG & Scale4
In addition to a 3, students will be able to:
Apply their knowledge of earthquakes in the analysis and presentation of historically significant earthquake information.
Describe the cause of earthquakes in terms of plate tectonics and convection currents within the mantle
List and describe the different kinds of faults 3
In addition to a 2, and without help, students will be able to:
Name the land form types that lead to earthquakes
Locate epicenters through triangulation
List factors that affect the amount of earthquake damage 2
In addition to a 1, and without help students are able to:
Describe the science of seismology
Describe the characteristics of earthquakes
Describe how earthquakes are measured 1
Students are able to:
Describe what an earthquake is 4
In addition to a 3, and without help, students will be able to:
Apply their knowledge of engineering in the analysis and presentation of new engineering tasks
Accurately instruct other students on the steps used in engineering
Analyze and evaluate the engineering process of historically significant engineering projects 3
In addition to a 2, and without help, students will be able to:
Compare and contrast science and engineering
Describe all of the steps of the engineering design process in order
Use the engineering steps in a design and building project
Explain how collaboration is an important part of the engineering process
Work in a collaborative group to accomplish an engineering task 2
In addition to a 1, and without help students are able to:
Describe how engineering is used in society
List and describe some of the steps of the engineering process 1
Students are able to:
Describe what an engineer does

3. Homework: due tomorrow Summary power paragraph about the video

Summary power paragraph about the video
create a name and logo for your construction company! The design should fill an 8.5x11” sheet of plain paper and be in color. You’ll decide on which logo to use tomorrow!
If no one in your group does their homework, you will have to “BUY” a logo from another group. Subtracting 5 dollars from your account and GIVING the other group a 5 dollar credit!

5. Vocabulary definitions: Hi-lite the bolded phrases
Earthquake- a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.
Seismology- The scientific study of earthquakes and of the internal structure of the Earth. It includes the study of the origin, geographic distribution, effects, and possible prediction of earthquakes. 
Fault- an extended break in a body of rock, marked by the relative displacement and discontinuity of strata on either side of a particular surface.
Seismic Waves- a wave of energy that is generated by an earthquake or other earth vibration and that travels within the earth or along its surface.
Richter Scale- A logarithmic scale used to express the amount of energy released by an earthquake. Its values typically fall between 0 and 9, with each increase of 1 representing a 10-fold increase in energy. 

6. Vocabulary definitions: Hi-lite the bolded phrases
Magnitude- The magnitude is a number that characterizes the size of an earthquake. Magnitude is based on the measurement of the maximum motion recorded by a seismograph.
Seismograph- an instrument that measures and records details of earthquakes, such as force and duration.
Epicenter- The point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the focus (the point of origin) of an earthquake. The epicenter is usually the location where the greatest damage associated with an earthquake occurs.
Focus- The location where the earthquake begins. The ground ruptures at this spot, then seismic waves radiate outward in all directions.
